Neodymium leaking from the magnets would cause brain damage, peripheral neuropathy, and an uncontrollable urge to call innocent people liars. :-)

No, it won't work. Even if the magnets were powerful enough to prevent the teeth from occluding the masticatory muscles would still be working. Why can't you wear a NTI?

Repelling Magnets use for mouthguard? For those who can't use an NTI for various reasons, would using the force of
repelling magnets embedded into a device that would be placed on upper and
lower teeth be effective to help prevent clenching, grinding and engaging
the back molars?

Repelling Magnets use for mouthguard? Did Jerry E. ever call about the NTI's? I had a temp asst. that went to
work for him and showed him the NTI that I had made for her. He called
me about them, and I just thought he might like hearing from another
orthodontist about them.

Get a more extensive NTI made. I believe there is a form like a partial denture, and this more extensive one would be more solid in the mouth. HTH SP -- Not a real Addy, yet
